The Books in My Library-Peter Slater,Pat Slater,Raoul Slater. Sally Elmer.



There are some wonderful husband and wife teams when it comes to Photography and Art in Australia.
It becomes even more wonderful when children in the family continue in the same mould.
One such family are the Slaters.
Peter, his late wife Pat and son Raoul
They have been photographing,illustrating and producing books mainly on birds for many years.

I have many in my collection.

Sally Elmer has collaborated with Peter and Raoul on the Glimpses of Australian Birds book which is a masterpiece.

There are fantastic technical and practical advice in these books.
